At first, organizers weren't sure how many people would attend the community cleanup, but when the event officially kicked off, the parking lot of the center was full with hundreds of people.

Representatives from the Islamic Center joined with Mayor Greg Fischer to promote a message of compassion and understanding.

While those responsible for the vandalism still have not been caught, a spokesperson for the center said they have already forgiven them.

When the speeches were done, attendees began painting over phrases like "This is for France" and "Stop the Terrorism.”

“The vandal, he never thought that this thing would unite people, probably he or they were thinking that it will divide people, but we are more close than ever. The true spirit of the residents of compassionate Louisville is showing up,” Muhammad Barber said.

This event brought together people of all faiths.

And that spokesperson for the center hopes the event will be the beginning of push for a more loving Louisville.
